[support] Deceased Members

[Michele Simpson]

I'm curious as to how other organizations handle the records of deceased members. The questions I have are these:   1) Do you delete the member from your records completely? Even if they have a spouse? 2) Do you transfer the name of the record to the surviving spouse or family member? Is that intrusive? 3) Do you mark them deceased and establish an 'expired'/ no longer active membership status, thus keeping a record of their membership. 4) Do you move their record to an archive file?   Thanks for any input.   Michele Simpson, Assistant Director Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory Post Office Box 519 Crested Butte, CO 81224 970-349-7231      [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rmbl.org ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
